Is pizza a smarter “fast-food” choice?


When it comes to fast-food options – pizza is a surprisingly UNhealthy one... 

According to dietician and nutrition expert Erin Palinski, most varieties of take-out pizza are actually loaded up with more junk than junk food itself. One serving, or two slices, has about 680 calories. Fried chicken only has 480. Pizza is also SUPER salty. You’ll be getting a whopping 1,600 milligrams. Tacos will only have about 1,000. Don’t forget the sugar – about 10 grams, or 2 ½ teaspoons in those 2 slices.

Erin says, if you’re still going to opt for the fast-food pizza, a thin crust will be a little better for you. It’s also a good idea to blot some of the oil off the top with a napkin before wolfing it down.
